-chuug-

-sreeek-

They started to dig the hole. Yana was do it well with his own pace, but the Half-beast definitely had the faster work. Even for the elder, Yana was still slower than him.

"it's quite hard to see in the dark like this...but this beautiful moonlight..." Yana stared the night sky

"I...-brugh- finish to collect all their weapons" Barry gathered them into one place

one hundreds swords, shield, and crossbows were made a pile on the ground.

"nice Barry, you can start digging now" Shanti responded

"yes, leave it to me" Barry gripped the shovel at his right hand

"but still... to think I can't use my left arm anymore.."

"I'm sorry Barry..." Shanti's ears were down

"hahaha, it's not that Shanti! I just say that it will take time to get used to it"

"hffff... Barry, Shanti.. make your pace faster.. our savior need some rest after this long day.." the elder took his breath

"got it" both of them replied

Shanti started from nort to south and Barry started from south to west. Yana started from west to north and the elder from north to east.

Stolen story; please report.

They sure made progress, after one hour they had created a big hole that enough to put one hundred bodies in there.

"-fuuh- my body become warmer after doing all that work" sweat could be seen from Yana's face

"you're doing great sir Yana"

"yes! I never thought a human can non-stop digging for one hour!" Barry followed

"haaah, our savior has more stamina than me, that for sure" the elder tried to control his breath

"is that so? well, I'm kinda like a soldier back in my world"

"that's explain why you're so calm in the war back then" Shanti nodded

They put their shovels on the ground. Now time to moved all the bodies into that hole, then buried them. It's almost midnight, and they still had several things to do.

"we can bring two bodies at one go, so that's will around fifty times... better to start then"

Just when they wanted to move the bodies, they saw all the villagers gathered at the front gate. They brought several carts.

"well, that's sure will make our work faster"

"we will help too!!" all the villagers helped them

From that point, the works done so much faster than before. Only take around twenty minutes till finished the burial. Then they stabbed all the soldier's weapons on the ground as their grave stone.

"would you pray for them Shanti? as shaman of the Ohre village?" Yana looked at Shanti

Shanti showed some doubt sign on her face, but she agreed in the end.

She stepped up and held her hands in front of her chest. She closed her eyes and started her pray. A silent night with cicadas voice made a relaxing and calm atmosphere.

"a little wolf started to walk.....ground is his first friend"

The rest of the Half-beast started to sing along Shanti's prayer.

"a child wolf started to run...wind is his close friend"

Yana closed his eyes. He also prayed with them.

"a big wolf started to hunt....forest is his best friend"

-whoooooo- night breeze slowly became silent.

"an old wolf started to rest.....earth is his only friend"

Shanti opened her eyes and said her last prayer.

"by the protection of ROGNIR... our beast god..."

"from earth to earth"

"from earth to earth" all the villagers followed

Yana opened his eyes and walked towards the soldier's grave.

"may you have a nice dream in your eternal sleep... rest well brave soldiers"

That finished the burial.
